*SENTENCE COMBINATION*

Learning to combine ideas into more complex sentences is an important writing skill. There are many ways to do this. Try to combine the following three sentences. Do not use a semi-colon.

Sentence 1: The snow lay heavily on the ground.
Sentence 2: People were shoveling their driveways and sidewalks.
Sentence 3: There was little traffic on the roads until the plows had cleared the major routes.
